Repository For Ubuntu Updated
By Natan Yellin on Nov 15, 2007 in Awn, Eyecandy
I’ve updated my repository for Ubuntu PowerPC. Its located here. It contains cutting edge versions of Compiz Fusion and Awn.
1) Adding the repository
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line for Feisty:
deb http://repository.theesylum.com feisty eyecandy
For Gutsy:
# Compiz Fusion
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy compiz-fusion
# Awn and other eyecandy goodness
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy eyecandy
Update your list of packages with
sudo apt-get update
2) Removing the old packages (Gutsy only)
If you’re on Gutsy then run this command first to get rid of the official packages:
echo "aptitude -y remove" `sudo dpkg -l | egrep '(beryl|emerald|compiz)'| awk '{print $2}'` | sudo bash
3) Installing Compiz Fusion
To install Compiz:
sudo apt-get install compiz # compiz-gnome AND/OR compiz-kde
To install CompizConfig configurator:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager # libcompizconfig-backends-* ?!
To install all of the assorted plugins:
sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-*
4) Running Compiz Fusion
Eventually I’d like to package fusion-icon. Fusion-icon is a starter script that will pass different options to compiz depending on your configuration. Until I do so, you can simply start compiz with the following:
compiz --replace
5) Installing Awn
Run the following:
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
I’m going to also add a package for awn-extras soon.
